In the past few years, we have covered a whole host of soft robots capable of handling fragile items. The DLR CLASH Hand is a clever solution developed within the EU-Project Soma that can grasp various fruits and vegetables. It has variable stiffness which can be adapted to the items the hand is going to pick up.

Here is a new 3D soft robot created by cutting and folding plastic films that is animated like living creatures. Dr. Sehyuk Yim in Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and his team invented addictive self-folding mechanism to connect all slices of the robot. They used the embedded tendons to create lifelike motion.

As Dr. Yim explains:

This result is very impactful, because soft robotics now widens its application areas beyond wearable robots and/or medical robots to the art and culture technologies in which the film and entertainment industries are interested. Also, merging the soft animatronics with emerging artificial intelligence will bring forth a wide range of changes on personal robots as well as human-robot interaction field

OpenAI Teaches Robot Hands To Manipulate Objects with Amazing Dexterity

Robots are getting better at handling items. We have already covered plenty of them using soft grippers and other mechanisms to handle fragile items of all shapes. OpenAI has taken it to the next level. It has trained a human-like robot hand to manipulate objects with amazing dexterity.

Learning Dexterity: Uncut

The Dactyl robot system was trained in simulation and can adapt to the real-world. Here is how it works:

Dactyl learns to solve the object reorientation task entirely in simulation without any human input… Dactyl was designed to be able to manipulate arbitrary objects, not just those that have been specially modified to support tracking. Therefore, Dactyl uses regular RGB camera images to estimate the position and orientation of the object.
